1. Dos and don'ts for YOUTH for a healthy lifestyle....

Hi...

Im Akshay Narnaware an engg. student. I'm a Science enthusiast(physics) also a health and fitness freak.

Few of my articles have also published in local hindi newspaper(http://www.naidunia.com/Details.aspx?id=78386&boxid=27292188).

I have faced some health and nutrition problems in my earlier years of college as i wasn't aware of the college lifestyle.I can see the students around me struggling to stay fit and energetic after the long hours of college and then few of them attend some coaching classes.It takes near about an hour or so, for any physical-workout session and its really hard to get an hour free after the day's exhaustion.

I have also seen that the students who somehow manage to go to gyms and fitness centres don't get the proper guidance.The proper guidance means, what is good for you , what increases your level of fitness or whatever the goals you setted-up for your fitness .If other person is getting results with a workout plan it may not work with you. Its simple that the genetics and the lifestyle of the other person doesn't match with yours. And lots of fitness centres and gym trainers are making people and specially students to follow a workout plan or schedule of some renowned celebrity or some world-class body-builders. Even, the people, watch a video on you-tube or any other website and blindly try out the training-style of the world class body-builders or celebrities without hesitation. This what i think is not certainly right because the lifestyle, the training-style, the diet plan , the body genetics, the environment around etc. counts much on your fitness level.So, following blindly the workout plan of a celebrity or any body-builder is simply stupidity until and unless it works with you.

Here i'm suggesting some of the points you should work-on before following any workout plan.You might find it time consuming at a first sight but believe me its nothing like that.

1. First of all, make-up your mind and set a short-term goal for your fitness level you wish to achieve.Prepare yourself psychologically for the exercise and eating habits, it might lead to change a little in your daily routine.

2. Find a fitness centre or gym who provide proper guidance.Ask the people around you , your friends, neighbors, relatives etc. about the gym who provide the proper guidance.Get their names and address.I'm sure you'll get the multiple answers from all of them.

3. Visit the gym and fitness centres.Talk to the trainers about how they suggest and train people.Then analyse all of them who's the closest of your fitness goals. If you don't get enough time to visit no. of gyms, ask the trainer of your nearest gym, if they can help you to achieve your fitness goals.

4. Get a friend ready to go to gym regularly with you.
There are people and students who don't feel like to do anything and specially exercise alone, its not a bad habit. It happens sometimes you feel lazy and dizzy and don't wish to exercise today, in this condition friends helps a lot.They'll kick your ass, say u some bad words and get you out of the bed.

5. And, a rainy day or a cold-day is not a valid excuse to miss your workout.

NOTE:--

-->Students who wish to follow the yogic exercises instead of gym and fitness centres can also follow these steps.

-->Rest of all, use your mind, after all its your body and you understand it better than anyone--

In my next post i am posting some basic-exercises plan with few eating habits.


"Exercise doesn't trains only your body, it trains your mind too, to be disciplined and self-confident...."
